Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Hash Browns

    In a skillet, cook the hash browns over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook Bacon and Sausage

    In the same skillet, add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Next, cook the sausage patties in the same skillet for about 4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook Eggs

    In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them. In the skillet, add a little butter over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble until cooked to your preference. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare Hotcakes

    In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix and milk until just blended. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and melt a little butter. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    On a large plate, arrange the scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, sausage patties, hash browns, and hotcakes. Drizzle with maple syrup as desired and serve hot.
